Dense fog is making travel tough for the southern half of Minnesota.

According to SCSU Meteorology Professor Bob Weismen, yesterday’s mixture of freezing rain and snow has left a lot of moisture in the air with very light winds not helping to push it out. The freezing drizzle continued for much of last night, so even on treated roads ice may be present.

Temperatures for today will be warm enough for precipitation to start out as rain; however that will change to a mix of snow and rain and then just heavy snow later on in the evening.

There is a dense fog advisory for the southern half of Minnesota until noon today [Monday]. Many places in central and southern Minnesota have visibility down to one fourth of a mile.
